After returning home, his right eye became red and the tingling was intensified, accompanied by photophobia, tears, and decreased vision. After rushing to the local ophthalmic emergency department for treatment, was diagnosed with chemical burns of the right cornea in the cornea of . The canned flying snow spray he purchased later tested and found that it contained chemical substances such as sodium nitrite , sodium benzoate and other chemical substances.
The fire brigade of Ningbo Hi-tech Zone, Zhejiang Province once conducted an experiment, spraying "flying snow spray" on the experimental board, and then approached the experimental board with an open flame. It was found in the experiment that almost the moment the open flame encountered "snowflakes", the experimental board was ignited, accompanied by black smoke and pungent odor during the burning.

Expert:
"Flying Snow" needs to be cleaned with a lot of clean water after entering the eyes
The chief ophthalmologist Xiong Ke, the attending physician of the Southern Hospital, told reporters that in the "Flying Snow Spray" contains some alkaline chemicals. Although the concentration is not high, once accidentally enters the eyes, it is easy to cause serious damage to the ocular surface tissue. If not treated in time, in severe cases, it can cause vision loss or even blindness.
He reminded citizens that if the "snowflakes" accidentally enter their eyes, they must rinse them with a lot of clean water. If the situation is serious, you should seek medical treatment in time.
Industry experts have analyzed that "snowflake" is a volatile organic substance, the main component is polymer resin compounds. This substance can only be dissolved in organic solvents such as ethanol , and this organic solvent is flammable. Compared with ordinary alcohol products, "Snowflake" and other products are more flammable and burn faster. The sodium nitrite and sodium benzoate contained in "Snowflakes" are both weakly alkaline substances, and sodium benzoate is usually used to make preservatives. Their harm to the human body mainly depends on the amount and concentration. Usually, in the case of small amount and low concentration, it should not cause harm to the skin, but may irritate the eyes and cause burning sensation of the cornea.
